Christy , daughter of Raymond D Simpson of Company A of the 715th Railway Operating Battalion sent these great photos.

She says "Dad served in North Africa, Sicily and Italy. He was on a ship heading towards Japan
when the atomic bombs were dropped. When Japan surrendered, the ship was turned
around and headed towards the US. I have attached some of pictures of Dad
which were taken in Italy. I do not know the names of the other soldiers
in the pictures. The back of the picture of the Tower of Pisa says he is in the
top of the tower."
